622-624 Shrader St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, 10-unit apartment building at 622-624 Shrader St in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Eugene Leung & Charlene Lee, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed its soft-story seismic retrofit and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with important safety standards. Recent fire safety upgrades include the installation of a comprehensive fire alarm system in 2020 and a building-wide sprinkler system, with the most recent sprinkler monitoring system upgrade completed in April 2024.

The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvement work, including a 2019 vinyl siding installation, reroofing, and various unit renovations that have included bathroom and kitchen upgrades across multiple units between 2007 and 2023. The building has experienced several routine safety inspections, with some notable issues in the past related to fire safety equipment and building maintenance. Recent fire safety violations have been promptly addressed, including corrections to alarm systems and extinguishers in mid-2023.

The property underwent a controversial awning installation in 2023, which resulted in a building complaint but was later legalized through the City's Awning Amnesty Program in 2024. Historical complaints from 2008-2010 documented issues such as water damage, mold, and construction debris in common areas, but these problems were resolved. The building's mechanical systems have been upgraded over time, including a 400-amp service upgrade in 2007 and modernized plumbing and electrical systems throughout multiple units. Recent code compliance efforts have focused on ensuring proper fire escape maintenance, gas utility shutoff access, and fire safety equipment upkeep, with most violations being promptly addressed and resolved.
